So, all of the sudden my Milk Snake began to musk on me. (I think it is musk. Is it musk? I think it is, but I am not sure. It is clear liquid with white chunks and it SMELLS super bad) The first time it was when he was in shed. I was doing cage maintenance, and took him out to do so. He musked all over me! I was grossed out but associated it with him shedding, thus not wanting to be taken out. However, a few days later after it shed, Slinky musked on me again!
It has been like that ever since, with him doing this to me whenever I take him out. I have tried handling him less, but that just made him extra flighty and made maintenance difficult. I have also tried holding him more than usual, and that just made him musk more. Have any of you guys experienced something like this? What are the causes? And how do I prevent it? Thanks guys, me and my musk smelling clothes will thank you for it!
